I don’t know why, but this morning I remembered the wonderful ‘Frogging’ item, in which Scroff Crudle offered an expert summary as a frog was guided around an obstacle course by its handler in the pursuit of the Dioralyte Shield. Brilliant radio.

Post your favourite Mark and Lard moments/quotes below, as we attempt to substitute wit and humour for a thread full of borrowed lines and cheap nostalgia.

*song fades out:

MARK: Yes I do!
LARD: No you don't.

I was listening when the original WAAARRP! went out. Can't remember what exactly it was supposed to be (if anything). But I was decorating my bedroom at the time.

But that was the afternoon show. Graveyard shift was where it was at. I remember surfing the radio dial afterwards in search of stuff to listen to instead of going to sleep. Happened upon the closing down of Radio Luxembourg one night. Funny how I do the same sleep procrastination thing now, but on the internet. I blame Mark & Lard for it all.

I remember when they made Bang! by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs their record of the week, I was on half term from college or something and took great joy from listening to that every day, completely unedited (somehow). As a fuck, son, you suck

The stuff they got away with on the Afternoon show was great. The aforementioned Fat Harry White with his wafer-thinly-veiled double-entendres, Frogging ('Bitch! Come By Bitch!), and Butch Schlong and Snatch Friggett from the W.A.N.K. Cincinnati American Sports Network. I also used to like Protheroe Fitzgibbon: The Psychic Sidekick
